So are you guys saying that Rosser has quasi-fledged?  If I understand correctly (all those building descriptions are very confusing to someone who has never seen it!) he is now on a lower ledge and will probably fly out and away before flying back up?  Did I get that right?

I hope it was onto the roof and not the ledge below.

Rain's fine, just moved down the ledge some ...

Note about McKenzie Seeds - the corner the chicks have been sleeping in, is the southeast corner.  To the south, there is no roof, just a parking lot,
TPC:there is a 2 story building attached to the main building on the south side and then there is the parking lot.This building is almost as long as the roof wall. :)

1720h

Rain is having a very thorough preen ... not sure he's ready to go yet, but he's certainly thinking about it.  I always have visions of the exocist movies when I see them "doing" the underside of their wings from the back ...



thanks Rose!

Rose - the black decorative edge, that is the north east corner right above the loading docks - yes?  Doesn't run the whole length, just about 10-15 feet?  If it is, I can see much of it with the camera, its been painted silver like the rest of the roof so it didn't immediatly twig ...
The black ledge only goes around the corner a short distance on the north side and on the south side it is the same but I doubt if it is the distance you mention and then it's just the wall. On the south side there is a 2 story building attached to McK. bld that goes almost back as far as the end of the roof wall you probably can see most of that roof. :)

Note about McKenzie Seeds - the corner the chicks have been sleeping in, is the southeast corner.  To the south, there is no roof, just a parking lot, a one storey bank, then Rosser Avenue and some 2 and 3 storey buildings going south, one of which is the public parkade.  Going north, there is a smal gap where there is a loading bay (about two delivery, not semi, truck widths) and then there is the McKenzie Seeds Building Annex.  Beyond that is Pacific Avenue (which you can see on camera), then the rail lines, then the Assiniboine River, the floodplain and up the "hill" (north slope of the Assiniboine River floodplain) is the old Brandon mental health centre which is now Assiniboine Community College.  The buildings between McKenzie Seeds and ACC are single storey commercial and single/double storey residential.

1700hrs.
 TPC:I got a good look at the band I think that's Rain on the ledge, RCF has gone back downtown, she was sure that Rosser made it back to the ledge. Brooklyn was trying to get him to fly she's got pics. :) Note it is very difficult to tell the colours apart and I'm only sure if the band shines silver.

Wow that was a great rooftop tour. No sign of Rosser on any of the other roofs though, must still be out of sight on the black ledge. Glad to see Rain back in view.

Rain is standing up looking around( still in the same corner )and have just heard from RCF, Rosser is still on the black ledge and wingersizing like mad. She's going to try for some pics. :)

Rain is still sleeping in the corner. Wind is 19km/hour temp is 21 and it's been cloudy all day. :)
Do you know where Rosser is, Rose? ???
I would guess that he is probably in the same place as he was earlier. I think we have to remember that he is getting much more mobile every day and will go where he pleases. He may return to the roof and then again he might not. :)
